Wicked Season (2024) Movie Script

1
Oh god I just...
I... I just miss you so much.
[thunder rumbles in sky]
[police siren wails in distance]
[steady electronic pulses]
[rhythmic electronic
dance music]
Beth, are you really going home?
Yeah, I'm out.
Oh boo!
[muffled heavy breathing]
If you move, you die.
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa.
I was just joking.
- [Werewolf] Just kidding,
just kidding. - What the
hell is wrong with you?
It's not real. It's not real.
Way to go, Charlie, give a girl
a heart attack why don't you?
Yeah that seals it for me.
Beth, he didn't
mean to scare you.
I'm sorry, guys, I'm
done for the night.
Come on, Red.
It was a joke!
[girl friend] Beth!
First and Monroe.
Bet you're having
a crazy night, huh?
[eerie, old-timey violin music]
Excuse me, what
way are you taking?
Sir?
I think you're
going the wrong way.
[ominous boom]
- [Beth] What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Pull over the car.
[Beth] Hey, asshole!
Pull over!
I want to get out of the car!
Stop!
Stop the fucking car!
Oh what the fuck?!
Oh my God!
No! No! No!
Someone help!
Help me!
No!
Please!
[terrified screams]
Help me!
Leave!
No!
[panic breaths]
Go away no!
No please!
[terrified scream]
[choking on her blood]
I run by here every day.
And I have never
seen anything weird.
But, I mean, this is so sick.
You won't see this stuff
in the horror movies.
[Jogger] There was no one here.
[Jogger] It was just the body
when I got here.
I was really hoping Turner was
wrong with his copycat theory.
Crucifixion. Disembowelment.
Ten year anniversary
of the scarecrow killings.
I'd say he was dead on.
[female voice] Hey, Christine!
You might want
to come take a look at this.
[Vega] Yeah, that's a good bit.
[Miller] The victim's?
No, I don't think so.
My guess?
[female detective]
Someone leaving the scene.
Maybe we'll catch a break.
[male voice] A break
soon would be nice.
Oh, God.
Please tell me
you got something.
Blood.
Looks like a passive trail.
[Vega] Leads away. I...
I don't think it's the victims.
Maybe the suspect's.
Yeah or another victim.
Jesus, how do you
crucify and disembowel
four women
in a crowded city
and not a single witness?
[Vega] I mean,
how's that possible?
Shit, we don't even
know who this one is!
We checked with dispatch again.
No active missing persons
or want-to-locates.
Crime scene went
completely unseen
until a jogger found
her this morning.
Techs figured
[Vega] yesterday
evening on this.
Did you go talk to
Sergeant Hughes?
No luck.
No answering machine.
Tried him a few times actually.
A few times?
Just not enough time in the day.
[Captain Turner] You
got to make the time.
We are way behind here.
Alright, I'll tell you what.
[Captain Turner] Finish up here.
[Captain Turner]
Catch your breath.
Clear your heads.
Then try again.
Think you can reach
out to ol' Manhunt for us?
[Miller] Let him
know we're coming?
Yeah I'll pin him down.
Do you think he can help?
[Captain Turner] He's
the one that caught
the asshole that
started this M.O.
Maybe he can see
something we missed.
Hello?
Sergeant Hughes?
[Hughes] Yeah.
Come on in.
Work... You piece of shit!
Um Sergeant we are...
Vega and Miller.
Yes sir that's right.
We were hoping to talk
to you Sarge about the
scarecrow killings.
[foreboding music]
Turner was hoping you could
take a look at what we have.
[Vega] Maybe give us
a different perspective.
Looks to be the same M.O.
[Hughes] I talked to Will
and we both agreed
it's a copycat.
And that you're going
to have a long Halloween night.
Well that's why we're here.
We don't have one solid lead.
We were hoping you
could give us your take on it
as an insider.
Well there lies your problem.
You got a pen?
You see everything that wasn't
public knowledge
Your guy is missing.
What is that?
Symbol.
It was on all the crosses.
[Hughes] Definitive clues.
But your guy?
I don't see anything
that matches Crow.
Alton
[Hughes] Crow.
[Hughes] We uh
Got him as he was driving
off from the last crime scene.
[Hughes] Pulled right
over and surrendered
Never said a word.
Just...
stared.
[Hughes] Smiled.
Covered in her blood.
- [rushing horror
music crescendos]
[cellphone rings]
Yes hello captain.
[inaudible dialogue]
Northwest just took
a report on a missing female.
[Vega] Not seen since
a costume party last night.
Might have gotten in a cab.
Uniforms are on it.
Like I said...
busy night.
[Vega] So that's it?
What else do you want from me?
Please come with us.
Look
I know where you're
at with this.
[Hughes] I really do.
[Hughes] I've been there...
too many times.
And that is exactly
why I can't
[Hughes] give you anything more.
[Hughes] You want
to learn about Crow?
Take a drive out to the asylum
where they sent him
where he died.
Maybe learn something
from his stay.
Sure you don't want to shake
the rust off and go with?
I mean you got to at least be
curious about what's going on.
No I'm good.
[sighs]
That was sad.
"Manhunt" Mike Hughes.
I guess it's just
another dead end.
[scoffs]
Before you judge him too quickly
he lost his daughter
while chasing after Crow.
Maybe half of who he was
or what he was went with her.
I didn't know.
I couldn't imagine losing Mark.
They asked for volunteers
at the department
when Hughes couldn't
be with her.
I signed up for one
of my days off each week.
What you knew her?
Why didn't you bring it up?
You know I was in the academy
when my dad was going through
his struggle with cancer.
I couldn't be with him
as much as I wanted to.
Did Hughes know?
I doubt it.
Besides I didn't do it for him.
I did it for her.
Ain't gonna bite.
[Hughes] I'm not so sure.
[Rodney] Two high speed low
drag homicide detectives
coming in to what?
Seek for wisdom?
They were here for the coffee.
[laughs]
That's bullshit.
Yeah how so?
Because your coffee sucks bro.
Then why are you here Rodney?
That's simple.
I got horrible taste.
What's it been, Mike?
[Rodney] You've known
me 15 years, right?
Give or take.
So then you know that I
know why those two were here.
Really?
I never knew you
vice guys to be so bright.
Hmm yeah.
Ouch.
On that note I got to go.
You know there's a reason
why you were the best we had.
[somber music]
[rallying music]
Alright.
[ominous music]
So this is where they
locked up Crow huh?
Yeah I guess so.
Excuse me.
Sir!
Hello?
- Can I help you?
- [Vega] Yeah.
[Vega] You work here?
Last I checked.
Name's Frank.
Groundskeeper.
I'm Detective Vega.
This is Detective Miller.
We're investigating
a lead on a murder case.
Looking for records
on an Alton Crow.
[Miller] Lucky
for us, you were here.
Yeah.
Lucky.
Only make it out here
a couple of times a week.
Crow you said?
Yes. We understand
the building is closed
but uh we've been told that
there may be records here still.
Any chance you could
show us around?
Police?
Don't see why not.
Domus mea domus tua
As my granddad used to say.
Gratias tibi
We won't be long.
I'm going to check
in real quick.
Oh that thing won't work here.
Dead zone.
He's right.
No bars.
[Miller] We can
call it in after.
So just you three?
[truck door swings open]
Glad you're here.
[Vega] They just found
the missing girl.
She's number five.
Well let's get to it.
[Frank] Some of the worst
killers in the country
passed through here.
Not sure about your guy.
[Frank] Originally built in 1900
as a general hospital.
Then in 1917
started housing the
criminally insane.
[Frank] Michelangelo
painted that in 1487
when he was 12.
[Frank] But the guy
in the center with the beard
[Frank] that's who
this place is named after
Saint Anthony.
Story was
[Frank] He was a monk and a
healer with an unshakable faith.
So they sent demons
to corrupt him
[Frank] Break him.
[Vega] Did he?
[Frank] Huh?
Break?
I don't think so.
Follow me.
Good for you Padre.
[Frank] Shut down ten years ago
after a whole floor of people
[Frank] dropped dead overnight.
Some kind of gas leak.
[Frank] So they condemned
the building and
moved everybody out.
[Miller] Hey there's
somebody here.
Oh druggies and homeless
come through here all the time.
Hey asshole!
[Miller] Police!
Actually it's the kids who come
[Frank] And sacrifice
their neighbor's pets
that leave a nasty mess.
Really? Why don't they
just flatten the place?
[Frank] They're
working on it but
it's all tied up in court.
[ominous music]
[Frank] Here's the storage room.
They used it for the files.
Oh come on.
This is our best lead right?
Someone's going to need to
[Hughes] check out
Crow's old cell.
[Vega] I'm on it.
[Vega] Frank?
Do you think
you can find Crow's old cell?
Yeah.
Alright let's go.
So uh
Where to start?
[Frank] So who is that guy?
[Vega] He's a sergeant.
[Frank] Seems pretty intense.
[Vega] Yeah well, he's
old school you know
It's how they built them.
What's going on over there?
Hold on.
Hold back for a second.
So that report you did on Crow.
Those women were
part of some sort of
ritual sacrifice?
[Hughes] Yeah.
I was sure he believed
that's what he was doing.
To what end?
[Hughes] I never got an answer.
My God.
What is all this?
Who did all this?
[Hughes] Crow's uh
spree was pretty wide.
First two murders
weren't even in the city limits.
And that third case?
Third case was mine.
[Miller] But Crow
[Miller] Crucifixion
Disembowelment
No blunt force trauma.
No drugs in the system.
That's right.
You read my notes.
The little details that were
never released to the public.
Well we were always
two steps behind him.
We were scrambling trying to
learn everything we could abot
[Hughes] witchcraft, voodoo
[Hughes] all that weird shit
that the evidence
was telling us.
This has to be his cell, right?
What is that?
Italian?
No.
It's Latin.
Can you read it?
What's it say?
[Hughes] Then Slick
Simms started drawing
and he's the one
who came up with the uh
unfinished pentagram.
Marking the fifth location.
Yeah.
Ol' Rodney never fails to
remind me of that either.
And that grates on you.
Here let me show you.
Yeah let's take a look at it.
Come on.
Move some of these
boxes out of the way for me.
Et veni
[Vega] In bivio
[Vega] Itineris.
[loud rumble of thunder]
[Vega echoed] Et veni
[Vega echoed] In bivio...
(Vega echoed) Itineris.
[evil ghost-like sounds]
And I came
to a crossroad in my journey.
[Hughes] Okay so
our first two
were
[Hughes] here
and
[Hughes] here.
Next was...
here
and on down here
for number four...
here.
You see the distance wasn't
meant to throw us off the scent.
And when we finally caught him.
[Hughes] There.
[Vega] Trans frectum
[Vega] Nocte educ
[Vega] Mortuis.
[loud impact]
[glass shatters]
And bring the dead
across the river
[Vega] at night.
[Heavy footstep
and chains rattle]
And the fifth victim?
College kid.
Roommate said she got
a call to go study.
That was it.
Like I said
Crow surrendered and
never said a word.
Motivated genius
with an evil mind.
Powerful thing.
[evil ghost-like sounds]
Ad terram
[Hughes] Did you get
that fifth location?
Yeah um...
24th and Euclid.
24th.
Right there.
Huh.
How about the others?
Sheffield and Crosby.
Monroe and Carroll.
You got to be kidding me.
The other two are
spot on as well.
[Miller] Copycat or not
He knew the spots
and where he wanted to work.
Well that sure as hell
ain't no accident.
Something else?
Hmm?
Vitae.
That puts us dead center.
To the land of the living.
[loud crack of thunder]
[blaring jail cell alarms]
Great.
Now what?
[heavy foosteps]
[chains rattle]
[low scary whisper] Michael...
[low scary whisper] Michael.
[distant female laughter]
Did you hear that?
Huh what?
I swear I just heard something.
Hughes.
That's written in blood.
[Miller] Thoughts?
It's a mass grave in Ireland.
In English, it means
The Mound of the Hostages.
Maybe the animal
sacrifices have started.
Well it is Halloween.
Did you see that?
No, what do you got?
Someone...
[distant female laughter]
Well now I certainly heard that.
[ghostly voices behind them]
Unbelievable.
Tell me you have a key on that
chain that works this lock.
Oh actually I do.
Wait.
Did you hear that?
What?
- [man running] -Wait!
Fuck!
Let me get that key, Frank.
Right.
[Miller] It could be one
of those drugged up kids.
[Hughes] Oh one of them
partygoers you mean.
[Miller] Yeah.
[distant strange laughter]
[crash]
Sounds like the
kegger has started.
Come on.
We don't have time for this.
We need to get back over to...
Look, I agree
But we gotta make
sure some kid's not
whacked out of his skull.
Alright.
Son of a bitch!
Get out of here!
[Hughes] Hey!
[shivering grunts]
You all right?
[Hughes] I'm talking to you.
Frank, the key.
I'm trying.
I have all the cellblock keys.
[Frank] They all look alike.
You hear me?
I said are you all right?
[man screams in pain]
[chains rattle]
Now stop it!
Are you all right?
Just lovely!
[hysterical laugh]
Hughes!
Miller!
He's armed with a razor!
[man chokes in pain]
Come on play!
[Vega] Oh no-no-no-no!
What the?
Come on.
Come on!
[hysterical laughter]
- [hysterical laugh]
- [Hughes] Yeah, alright.
[sinister laugh]
No-no
Frank the key.
[Frank] I'm looking!
How about the
fucking key, Frank?
[Vega] Frank, the key.
We need the key.
The key Frank!
- [large man] You'll play.
Get the key Frank!
- I can't find it!
- [large man laughs]
[Vega] Find the
fucking key Frank!
Give me those!
You don't want to play with me?
What the fuck?
[Hughes] It's a dead end!
[rushing steps]
[Hughes] Oh shit!
The bars!
Hurry Frank now!
Pull!
Keep pulling!
PULL!
[Razor freak] Where
are you going baby?
PULL!
Don't struggle!
[Vega] Pull tighter!
I am!
If I only had my razor
[Hughes chokes]
We could really have
a bonding moment!
You mean this one?
It's a
It's a scalp!
He's wearing a woman's scalp!
No signal.
Just like you said.
That was quick thinking.
Thanks.
You alright?
Think I'm going to
feel that for a while.
Jesus.
It's not what I meant.
Are you...
Are you all right?
Oh, that.
30 years of smoking.
Found out they put
warning labels on the
packs for a reason.
Then we have this guy.
I don't know much
about guns and bullets
but they didn't seem
to do much to him.
I hit him.
You know I know I hit him.
Doesn't make sense.
- [Vega] Let's go find the
others yea? - Sounds good.
I'm going to grab the keys.
[Miller] God.
Still can't believe
I killed a man like that.
Hey, you did what
you did with what you had.
Yeah but that's the thing.
I don't even
remember doing that.
And that's not who I am.
I had my weapon.
[Miller] Um, yea.
I don't know how
to tell you this
but there are no entry
wounds on this guy.
What?
Yeah.
[Hughes] You're trying
to tell me I missed this
guy inside of three feet?
I mean he's done for.
That's all that matters.
I hit him in the hip.
That magnum round should
have destroyed that joint.
Whacked out clown.
Sliced you wide open.
You missed.
What do you expect?
That nut job. Got the jump
on me twice in two minutes.
What are you thinking?
I got a couple of thoughts
a couple of thoughts indeed.
Let's go find Vega first.
Yeah.
That is one big man.
Vega took care of business.
Used his own jewelry on him.
Where'd they get to?
What is that... Latin?
Yep.
But don't ask.
My latin is terrible.
He died here.
I mean right on this spot.
He wanted to die here.
He placed victims
for his pentagram.
Right?
And then had you catch him.
Putting him right
where he wanted to be.
Here.
Son of a bitch.
He knew with his
past mental history
[Hughes] that
they'd ship him here
until they decided whether or
not he was fit to stand trial.
He died in a gas leak along with
everyone else in the floor but
But why?
I mean was it to
cover up the death
or make it look accidental or?
Nah He could have hung himself.
Nobody would've given two shits.
Hey.
[metallic clink]
No he's clean.
[Miller] No wounds no blood.
[Miller] Just like that freak
upstairs with the razor.
There's gotta be some
sort of explanation for this.
You sure you're
gonna make it, Frank?
I'm okay.
Just give me a sec.
[evil deep voice chuckles]
Frank you hear that?
[evil deep voice] Frank
It's dripping water.
The place is 100 years old.
[Frank] It leaks.
So this hunch of yours?
Yeah.
What about it?
[Miller] Would it have
anything to do with the guy
who just attacked us or
the uh humming
- [man humming a melody]
I'm hearing right now.
[dripping water]
It stinks too.
[Vega] Any idea where
it's coming from?
I don't know.
Somewhere in the building?
Alright old man
I'll give you that.
[Frank] It's just
water, detective.
[Frank] A leaky pipe.
It's just so loud.
[evil deep voice]
Do it now, Frank.
[humming grows louder]
- [loud crash] -[Miller screams]
[Hughes] Miller!
[evil deep voice] Do it now.
[evil deep voice] Do it, Frank.
[evil deep voice] Kill her.
Miller.
Miller!
[Diego Alma] That was actually
meant for you.
It's weird.
Don't even move.
Ten years I've been
working for this.
Ten years!
Ten years for what?
To bring him back.
Bring who back?
[male voice] Just
as quick Michael.
[male voice] However I'm afraid
[male voice] not as deadly.
[man hums melody]
Thanks old friend.
Crow's been gone for too long.
[Frank] But tonight he returns.
[Frank] Thanks to me.
And I get my reward.
I can see that you're puzzled.
[male voice] How rude of me.
[male voice] I'm sure
you have questions.
Please.
Go ahead.
Michael, I so very much want
to enjoy our time here together.
So I must insist.
Who the hell are you?
(man chuckles)
Isn't that obvious?
[male voice] Say it.
Say my name.
Diego Alma is dead.
And yet
here I am.
Lucky for me
you came in with the save.
I was going to get
those stoners to read that wall.
What kind of piece
of shit are you?
You think you're better than me?
In the end you
It doesn't matter.
So now what, Michael?
[Diego Alma] Should
I tell you something
[Diego Alma] only I would know?
How about...
Lana Meyers?
[Diego Alma] Just
come on in, detective.
It's over!
Drop the sword!
No you lower the weapon.
[Diego Alma] Lana... I
did love her.
So proud of you detective.
[Lana crying in fear]
But her heart belongs to me.
[Hughes] Son of a bitch!
[Diego Alma] When I learned what
it meant to be...
[Diego Alma] released.
You gave me a gift that night.
Goodbye Detective Vega.
[Frank] Oh shit.
Shit.
Jesus!
[animal-like roar]
[witch-like laughter]
Here is my gift to you.
Samhain is nearly over...
but it's work will be complete.
Whose work?
The fuck?
[painful grunt]
[witchy cackle]
See in life...
we each loved death
and provided plenty
of torturous souls.
[Diego Alma chuckles]
Seriously?
[Diego Alma] I didn't shoot
any of my victims did I?
Now, listen to me
very carefully.
It's a do unto others situation.
[painful shout]
I'm ready for you now bitch!
Now.
[Diego Alma] It
wouldn't be the same...
[Diego Alma]
...without a decision.
[loud stab through
flesh and bone]
Bitch!
[rallying music]
[Vega] All right Frank.
It's my turn.
I don't want anything from you.
And I'm not playing
this sick fucking game.
[Diego Alma] Ah
Detective Miller.
[loud stab into flesh and bone]
No!
[Loud stab]
[grunts in pain]
[Diego Alma] You know life
[Diego Alma] is but
a series of choices.
What do you do?
[Diego Alma] Do you hold
your daughter's hand
as she lays dying in a hospital?
[loud thud]
Oh shit man.
I see why you got out.
What can I do?
[Miller] Nothing.
I can't feel anything
from my chest down.
Do me a favor.
Yeah.
Pull out the sword.
Are you sure?
I'm not getting off this floor.
Alright.
Yeah man I'm here.
Finish this...
- [Hughes] I will.
- For Mark.
Kenny!
[Hughes] Kenny!
[panicked breathing]
How is this... How
is this possible?
[male voice] Come on!
Oh, great.
The records room.
[Vega gasps]
Can this night get
any fucking weirder?
[creepy music grows louder]
I'm just losing my fucking mind.
No big deal.
Tick Tock
Tick Tock!
[angry male voice] Open 'em!
[angry male voice]
Open 'em!
[angry male voice] Come on!
Open 'em!
[angry male voice]
Yeah, come on! Get up!
Frank?
[Frank muffled] I was just
walking and then he jumped me.
Woo wee!
Billy the Barb was having
a good night tonight.
But this?
This here is something special.
Look at the man himself
Mr. Detective Man.
Oh, hell.
Hell?
You wanna know about Hell?
I said do you wanna
know about Hell?
[Frank muffled] You really
don't have to do this.
[Frank muffled] You
don't have to do this.
Who dis?
- My name is... - [Billy]
I didn't fucking ask you.
He's just a groundskeeper.
Well, I'd say that he's
keeping the wrong grounds
on the wrong night.
Ain't that right,
Mr. Groundskeeper?
Wouldn't you say?
My name is Billy Lee Barber.
I do rapings.
Oh, and killings too.
Thirteen, to be exact.
[Billy] I thought
you should know.
[Billy] Because we're gonna
have a party here tonight.
- You mean to... - Used to
get on with it all the time.
Until this one here shipped
me off. Ain't that right?
Yeah something like that.
[Billy] Let me tell
you what I remember.
You shipped me back
off to Florida.
Back to that swamp.
I bet he had a good
laugh with that one.
Knowing damn good and well those
girls had family
locked up in there.
- That wasn't my decision.
- [Billy] Oh bullshit!
Who then?
The great citizens of Florida.
No matter.
Please.
[Billy] You volunteering
to go first?
Do unto others.
[Frank] Please.
You don't have to do this.
I kind of like your
pussy ass attitude.
It makes me want to
save you for last.
[Billy] That way I can
show you how it's done.
[Billy laughs]
You think somethings funny?
Maybe you're trying
to go to the front of the lin.
[Hughes] Do all your kin ramble
on like this?
Or just you with
your twisted mind?
Go ahead.
Make your jokes.
Because I'm going to pull
the flesh of your fucking fa.
What's that Frank?
Your anger makes
you sloppy Billy.
Can you feel the wire?
[Hughes] I sure hope you can
[Hughes] because on your last
breath, I want you to know...
[Hughes] because on your
last breath I want you to know
I'm going to saw
your fucking head off with it!
Give me your hands.
Frank!
Give me your hands!
I'll get you out of this!
That...
was barbaric.
Yeah well it seems to
be the night for it.
[Hughes] Now what
the hell happened?
[Hughes] Where's Vega?
I was just walking
and this psycho jumped me.
Frank where is Vega?
I tried to save her.
I really tried.
She didn't make it.
But we can.
So let's get the
hell out of here.
Miller?
Hughes?
Of course they're not here.
There's the exit.
Come on!
[Frank] What is it?
It's not finished.
[Vega] Frank Lassiter
Fucking snake.
I mean we came here
tonight to get some
information out of a file
and ended up in a
fucking nightmare.
Well what do you want to do?
- See it through.
- [Vega] March 3rd
[Vega] Alton Crow
transferred to D-Block
solitary confinement
after suspicious
circumstances surrounding
death of cell block inmates.
I want you to get to a phone.
You dial 911.
You have them transfer you
to homicide Captain Turner.
You tell him to bring his ass
out here and bring the cavalry.
[Vega] Alton Crow proves to
be incredibly persuasive
and manipulative.
[Vega] Some staff
have taken leave.
Frank Lassiter now
acting as full time
maintenance for D-Block.
If Crow is a part of this
it might as well
be me who ends it.
I want to help.
I can't ask you to do that.
You're not asking I want to.
[Frank] And I know just
where to find some answers.
[Vega] October 27th.
Frank Lassiter caught
bringing contraband
into D Block.
Gave no answers
after many hours
of questioning.
[Vega] Reassigned
to facilities maintenance
Morgue was this way.
Power stayed on down here
but it's a little spotty.
I'd offer you a light, but...
I only got the one.
I know what you mean.
[Vega] November 1st.
[Vega] The entirety of D-Blook
discovered dead.
Inmates on lower floors
report hearing
noises and voices.
Coming to the end Sergeant.
[Vega] Alton Crow
counted among the dead.
Markings scrawled
on the walls of his room.
Patient case record closed.
[metal door unlocked]
Is that your man?
Nope.
I'd say it's one
of your homeless.
Looks like the rats got to him.
[Vega] Didn't take them long.
So where's this lead to?
Eventually the boiler
room and furnace.
This is as far as you're going
to go, isn't it...
Mr. Lassiter?
Oh you're good.
You know I never
did catch your name.
Sergeant.
Hughes.
Yeah... that Hughes.
Okay so how'd you figure it?
I got a quick
glimpse of your file earlier.
As for Crow
Biggest thing to ever
come out of this place
And you didn't hear of him?
Oh you should have
left Sergeant.
But Crow will be
glad you didn't.
So he's here.
Well good.
[Hughes] Good.
Not just yet... but soon
when the incarnation
is complete.
Well that explains
the sacrifices this week.
Their lives to give me life.
My master's promise to me.
My prize for helping the plan.
And let me guess
This little soiree
started with a gas leak?
You know that was not easy.
Timing.
[Frank] Crow needed
to die that night.
Those other guys
fuck them.
[Frank] Collateral damage.
And I'd call you crazy
but what I've seen tonight?
When my master rises I'm sure
he'll explain all of that.
You are really nothing
more than a groveling lackey.
No!
I'll get to live forever!
Once you uh finish
the ritual right?
Yes.
Oh good so it's not done.
Down this way right?
Oh and hey before you lock
me in. If I were you...
Save it Sergeant!
You're expendable.
Motherfu...
[painful shout]
Goddamn it!
Hey Frank!
[Hughes] Something much larger
has been gnawing on this body!
And if it's anything
like those others...
Whatever Sergeant!
This night is so
much bigger than you!
Tell me Frank.
How are you in the
hundred yard dash?
Asshole!
[loud bangs all around him]
Listen to me!
Whoever you are.
Whatever you are!
I have important business...
with someone...
Who can tear you to shreds...
in the blink of an eye!
So if you know
what's good for you
You will let...
me...
PASS!
I think that worked.
[Frank screams in terror]
Shit-shit-shit-shit-shit-shit
[pounding on door]
I need a weapon.
[Frank coughs]
[Vega] You should
really do something
about that cough Frank.
Fuck.
Detective Vega.
You're still alive. Frank.
[Vega] Oh Frank.
I've been stabbed
twice with ice picks.
It's been a long night
for both of us dear.
But my master watches
over me, protects me.
[Frank] So I'm going
to kill you now.
[Frank] I'm going to beat
your brains to a bloody pulp!
[Frank] You shot me!
You dropped my gun Frank.
You see this little lever?
It has to be like this
in order for it to go...
No-no-no-no-no!
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot me!
Big talker when you
got the upper hand huh
but you're just a
conniving little bitch!
If you kill me now
you won't find him in time!
Find who?
[pounding and scratching
on metal door]
[rallying music builds]
[metal door unlocks]
Why I thought that
would work this time.
[monster growling in shadows]
[monster growls louder]
[Hughes] Oh shit!
[knife plunging into flesh]
Where are they?
They're dead!
You lying sack of shit!
Admit it detective.
Wouldn't you bargain
with the devil
for even one more day?
[distant diabolical laughter]
Sarge.
Ah finally some good news.
What the hell happened here?
Oh this?
It was... it's uh
Look it's just
been a crazy night.
Yeah.
Where's Miller?
[somber music]
[Vega] Sarge.
I'm sorry.
He...
no.
What?
- No! - [Hughes]
Hey-hey-hey-hey.
[Hughes] We need to finish this.
Now you're with me right?
Did you uh
see Frank?
Yeah I saw him. We had a nice
talk outside and then I...
blew his fucking brains out.
Let's take a look at this.
[Hughes] I found these.
Can you help me out with it?
Oh Jesus Christ what did you do?
Ah jeez.
[Vega] Almost
Hang tight.
[Hughes] Hey.
Hey, you two were right.
I just didn't want
to face it anymore.
[Hughes] I just wanted
to put it all behind me.
I guess maybe I'm just one of
those kind of guys it follows.
How could you have possibly
planned for any of this shit?
I mean seriously?
You know we met
once before right?
Huh really?
Yeah the Lake Park case.
[he laughs]
[Hughes] The garbage truck.
Yeah he got uh he got
wrapped around the rear axle.
I guess that's why they
teach you to look both ways.
And he shouldn't have run.
That outcome sure
wasn't planned but...
fucking saved lives that day.
[Hughes] Aww
Garbage truck did all the
did all the work.
You know earlier
in Crow's cell I...
There was this writing.
I started to read it
out loud and I think it's
I think it's me that brought
- those things.
- Just don't.
How could you have ever known?
Frank.
I mean do you think
it's my fault that Kenny's dead?
Look Frank is
bringing Crow back.
And these others?
There's no way
they were part of his plan.
How do we kill Crow huh?
Cause I shot that
thing multiple times.
It did nothing.
Do unto others.
What?
Earlier...
I had to kill one
that I shot dead years ago.
And I don't know why.
And I don't know how.
But he told me
they can only be killed
by the way that they
kill their victims.
So Crow has to be disemboweled.
That's why earlier with
that guy he was strangling
a man in front of us.
We literally had to use
his own chain on
him to kill him.
Right.
You want to do the honors?
You bet I fucking do.
Well then let's get to it.
Looks like Frank's workshop.
[eerie demonic whispers]
You hear that shit?
Sounds like uh
[bones cracking
and gasps of air]
Crow?
[demon voice] Crow
[demon voice] No Crow
Who are you then?
[guttural growl]
Sine...
Nomine.
Vega?
Basically
Without Name.
We are vast.
Far more than you
could ever fathom.
We
Will disfigure this world.
[Sine Nomine] Life will suffer
in our embrace.
We'll rot
all!
Do you understand now child?
Yeah.
You uh set this in motion
about ten years ago right?
And Crow
Well he's still
deader than dead.
And then you get this other
asshole to dial in your numbe.
That sound about right?
By my design.
Michael.
Tick Tock
Except for one thing.
Yeah.
You didn't count on us.
[hysterical laughter]
Get up!
It seems that you've
misplaced your toy child.
Would you like it back?
Sarge it didn't work.
Another try perhaps?
Now children...
We shall begin.
So noble.
So pure of heart.
[Sine Nomine] Join us!
[Sine Nomine] Be family
within our kingdom.
[Sine Nomine] You were correct
about Alton Crow.
As for his slave well
[Sine Nomine] Even
vermin such as he
[Sine Nomine] may hold value.
Let me show you
what treasures await you child.
I was there ten years ago.
[Sine Nomine] You
were chosen Michael.
[Sine Nomine] Christine.
Know that there is still time.
Where are you Christine?
I so need you now
[Sine Nomine] Always so driven
So focused.
Never enough hours in the day.
You forgot about me.
Why didn't you love me?
Where are you, daddy?
[Hughes daughter] I'm so scared
without you.
That Michael is
what you shall have.
[Sine Nomine] A second chance
to be by her side.
[Sine Nomine] I sent
these demons tonight
[Sine Nomine] but
they all failed
[Sine Nomine] as
they have before.
To corrupt him.
[Frank] Break him.
[Sine Nomine] Kneel to me.
[Sine Nomine] And
she will live again.
Don't listen to him daddy.
[young girl] I know
you didn't forget me.
You did what you had to do.
You have to believe that.
But Crow.
Disembowelment.
[Miller] Crucifixion.
Crucified.
Yeah!
Christine!
[Vega's father] The pain.
[Vega's father] My
beautiful daughter...
The nail!
[Hughes] That's right scream!
[speaking in Latin]
[Sine Nomine] You
will not defeat me.
[Hughes] You're right.
But that frail form?
All day long.
[Hughes] Vega!
Now!
The axe!
[meaty stab into flesh]
What now?
We burn it.
I don't want to be here anymore.
Can you promise me one thing?
Sarge?
Huh?
Can we get Kenny home first?
Yeah.
Let's go call this in.
One thing about police funerals.
There's something special.
They are that.
Give me a minute yeah?
Sure yeah.
How many you suppose
this has been for us?
I don't know
It's always one too many.
You gave your statement yet?
No.
There's alot of crazy ass
rumors about what happened.
You plan on saying?
The truth.
They don't like it.
That's on them.
Straight down razors edge.
Manhunt.
For what it's worth, I'm glad it
was you in there with those two.
I don't think anybody
would have made it out.
Bring ya ass.
Let's go get a drink.
You know
that sounds pretty good.
Guess you got a visit to make.
Take your time.
We'll catch up alright.
Thanks man.
Sarge I feel like we haven't
had a moment to talk about
what happened with Crow.
Just hear me out
for a second okay?
What he showed me
was a twisted lie.
My father was my hero.
I wouldn't be who I am today
if it weren't for him.
It seems that thing
and Crow had
something in common.
Yeah.
He tried to manipulate
my relationship with my father.
Couldn't be further
away from the truth.
My father and I...
fuck...
My father and I had
an unbreakable bond.
You know?
I guess I just
needed to say that out loud.
It's a special thing, innit?
Between a father and a daughter.
Yeah.
Sergeant Hughes, Detective Vega
may I speak with you?
I got this Sarge.
We need to discuss
what you've encountered.
It is of the utmost importance.
It's probably not the best time.
You need to give
your statements.
We have to debrief you.
- Who are you? - That's
not important right now.
Okay listen it's
been a long couple of days.
Alright.
I'm done here.
Sine Nomine.
What did you just say?
All I've thought
All I dream
All I need
[brushing leaves off stone]
[All I've thought ]
Hiya kiddo.
Happy birthday.
So...
So much to say but I...
I want to
Daddy wants to thank you for
the help the other night.
I think you got me back
to where I needed to be.
I really do.
You are going to talk to us
about Frank Lassiter
and the body of Alton Crow.
We burnt the body lady.
It's over.
No it isn't.
No you let the genie
out of the bottle.
But you did not put it back in.
God I just
I just miss you so much.
So much.
Daddy loves you.
You know that, right?
[thunder rumbles in sky]
[police siren wails in distance]
We need access now
to Lassiter and all the othe.
Time is a factor.
This could be the end.
The end of what?
The end of everything.
[Hughes] Well then...
Let's get to it.
It worked.
Well there's no problem
if you had a gun
shoot him in the...
